Poet Introduction
Do I exist? That is hard to say, When nobody looks your way.

I'm Looking For
And they say,
"You're simply not the same."
"You're not the one I met."
But isn't that life? Live and forget.
No I'm not the girl,
You're looking for in this world.
I'm different now, not the same,
So it doesn't matter what you say.
And I say, I'd like to forget,
Those who pull me down, the ones I've just met.
This is my world.
This is the girl,
I'm looking for.
"You're simply not the same."
"You're not the one I met."
But isn't that life? Live and forget.
No I'm not the girl,
You're looking for in this world.
I'm different now, not the same,
So it doesn't matter what you say.
And I say, I'd like to forget,
Those who pull me down, the ones I've just met.
This is my world.
This is the girl,
I'm looking for.

Deserve
They walk along in night's mystery
Her shadows at a different degree
Because she's not walking in their line
No, she's stupidly trailing behind
Her foot steps don't make a sound
They tend forget she's around
Not over their laughs and their jokes
As she sits and silently chokes
She opens her failing mouth
And words forget to tumble out
It's like she doesn't have the letters
To make herself feel better
But even as she shoots at the clock
The hour hand gives a silent tock
She can't persist, the minutes beckon
She's only...
Her shadows at a different degree
Because she's not walking in their line
No, she's stupidly trailing behind
Her foot steps don't make a sound
They tend forget she's around
Not over their laughs and their jokes
As she sits and silently chokes
She opens her failing mouth
And words forget to tumble out
It's like she doesn't have the letters
To make herself feel better
But even as she shoots at the clock
The hour hand gives a silent tock
She can't persist, the minutes beckon
She's only...

Young Love
I never thought I would be caught
Staring at sidewalks
Covering my drag marks
In a crooked little town
They were lost and never found
Dead leaves on the ground
Leave or the streets will beat you down
Kindlings like 'till death do we part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
Now we haunt the dark
Paper faces flood the streets
But we won't go down in defeat
A morbid painting on display
The sky is black in lead filled rain
Look at how young love dies
Buried at each other's side
Staring at sidewalks
Covering my drag marks
In a crooked little town
They were lost and never found
Dead leaves on the ground
Leave or the streets will beat you down
Kindlings like 'till death do we part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
Now we haunt the dark
Paper faces flood the streets
But we won't go down in defeat
A morbid painting on display
The sky is black in lead filled rain
Look at how young love dies
Buried at each other's side

Missing
As I walk alone
I can't tell
who's missing
Is it me or you?
Losing your hand
Your touch
Is disappearing
From my skin
Maybe I won't
Find the answers
If I keep this up
Talking to myself
As I walk alone
Missing someone
Who's missing
From my side
I can't tell
who's missing
Is it me or you?
Losing your hand
Your touch
Is disappearing
From my skin
Maybe I won't
Find the answers
If I keep this up
Talking to myself
As I walk alone
Missing someone
Who's missing
From my side

All We've Boiled Down To
Sin swallows the enemy
Killed through an open door
Fickle and lost in tragedy
Fires burning beneath the floor
Maybe the moon is back again
To take hold and rip the skin
Time slows and soon suspends
There is nothing to hide in
Riddled with words bursting down
No one dares to see inside
Listening to demons drown
Drown in laughter as we hide
Because we can't out run
Because they're always there
Weeping tears, there is no sun
Nothing to fix the stale air
Be still and suffocate
Don't fear what you can't see...
Killed through an open door
Fickle and lost in tragedy
Fires burning beneath the floor
Maybe the moon is back again
To take hold and rip the skin
Time slows and soon suspends
There is nothing to hide in
Riddled with words bursting down
No one dares to see inside
Listening to demons drown
Drown in laughter as we hide
Because we can't out run
Because they're always there
Weeping tears, there is no sun
Nothing to fix the stale air
Be still and suffocate
Don't fear what you can't see...

Glass Streets
Down so deep
Questions obsolete
I'm incomplete
No glass street
High on the casket
A mystery basket
Full of acid
To melt this habit

To Me
I'm so numb, so numb inside,
That I can't feel you there anymore.
I can't run, I can't hide.
Don't know what the future has in store.
I mustn't weep.
I mustn't sleep.
I must fall deep.
I must kill the sheep.
Inside of me.
Before I can be.
All that is true to me.
Don't pull me under,
I am content here.
Running from thunder,
I'm breathing stale air.
I shouldn't feel.
I shouldn't heal.
I should peel.
I should deal.
Before it gets to me.
Too deep to be.
Removed from all that is true to me.
That I can't feel you there anymore.
I can't run, I can't hide.
Don't know what the future has in store.
I mustn't weep.
I mustn't sleep.
I must fall deep.
I must kill the sheep.
Inside of me.
Before I can be.
All that is true to me.
Don't pull me under,
I am content here.
Running from thunder,
I'm breathing stale air.
I shouldn't feel.
I shouldn't heal.
I should peel.
I should deal.
Before it gets to me.
Too deep to be.
Removed from all that is true to me.

Mourn
Down so deep. Floor above your head.
Eternal sleep. Buried and dead.
There's a wall, in your face.
You call, but there's no space.
They don't hear, they ignore.
Your voice can't tear through the floor.
They cry for you, but you still move.
What is true, how to disprove.
You scrape at the sides, so close to your head.
You are stuck inside this house of the dead.
Eternal sleep. Buried and dead.
There's a wall, in your face.
You call, but there's no space.
They don't hear, they ignore.
Your voice can't tear through the floor.
They cry for you, but you still move.
What is true, how to disprove.
You scrape at the sides, so close to your head.
You are stuck inside this house of the dead.

Breathe
I've forgotten how to breathe
Nothing as it ever seems
When was this easy?
I can't keep moving
This was never easy
Seems like only nothing
Breathing what we've forgotten
Nothing as it ever seems
When was this easy?
I can't keep moving
This was never easy
Seems like only nothing
Breathing what we've forgotten

Crumbling to Ashes
Installed in a moment,
I feel it caving in.
The walls show movement,
cracks like porcelain.
Eyes buried deep,
The water spilling in.
Close the light, sleep.
No more scars or skin.
All my fragments,
Pulling broken strings.
Swallowing ashes,
No more broken wings.
Stars will fall,
Fire hiding the damage.
Spilling in, closing walls.
I'm crumbling into ashes.
I feel it caving in.
The walls show movement,
cracks like porcelain.
Eyes buried deep,
The water spilling in.
Close the light, sleep.
No more scars or skin.
All my fragments,
Pulling broken strings.
Swallowing ashes,
No more broken wings.
Stars will fall,
Fire hiding the damage.
Spilling in, closing walls.
I'm crumbling into ashes.

Debris
The world fell
Late last night
But I can't tell
Left or right
The house
Is empty
The mouse
Nonchalantly
Cleaned all the cupboards
Empty and bare
The sky free of color
But there's no air
I can't breathe
And then I see
The world coming down on me
My world is all debris
Late last night
But I can't tell
Left or right
The house
Is empty
The mouse
Nonchalantly
Cleaned all the cupboards
Empty and bare
The sky free of color
But there's no air
I can't breathe
And then I see
The world coming down on me
My world is all debris

Beginning and the End
Words on a screen,
I've grown to love.
A face I've never seen,
But fills me with love.
I wish I could be,
All that you want me to.
But that isn't me,
So, how do I tell you?
Oh god, you hate,
All that I've said.
I curse this fate,
And the lies I've said.
Why did I fall in love?
I feel so stupid now.
Why do I still feel love?
With what I did, how?
Will I have to count the days,
That you have left me?
How many ways, can I say,
I want to love you as me?
I've grown to love.
A face I've never seen,
But fills me with love.
I wish I could be,
All that you want me to.
But that isn't me,
So, how do I tell you?
Oh god, you hate,
All that I've said.
I curse this fate,
And the lies I've said.
Why did I fall in love?
I feel so stupid now.
Why do I still feel love?
With what I did, how?
Will I have to count the days,
That you have left me?
How many ways, can I say,
I want to love you as me?
